Your company has an Active Directory domain.
A user attempts to log on to the domain from a client computer and receives the following message:
“This user account has expired. Ask your administrator to reactivate the account.” You need to ensure that the user is able to log on to the domain.
What should you do?
A.
Modify the properties of the user account to set the account to never expire.
B.
Modify the properties of the user account to extend the Logon Hours setting.
C.
Modify the properties of the user account to set the password to never expire.
D.
Modify the default domain policy to decrease the account lockout duration.
These answers A and C are very confusing and everyone already understood exactly what it meant. However, under Account options, there is “Password Never expires”, therefore, C is correct answer.
What do you think?
Hi, I think answers A and C are different in meaning.
When the user account has expired, you can’t do anything and you must contact to the administrator to reactivate the account.
When the user got the message like “Your password has expired and must be changed”, the user account is still activated, but based on security policy, the password must be change after a period time.
In this case, the user renew the password and login ok.
In this question, A is the correct answer.
User account expiry and password expiry are two completely different things… A is the correct answer.
